Waxing Q&A
What is waxing?
Waxing is a form of hair removal that pulls each strand from the follicle — the opening in your skin where your hair grows. The treatment is swift and effective, so you can enjoy smoother skin immediately with no downtime.
Bright Wellness offers professional waxing services for nearly every area of the body, including the:
- Legs
- Arms
- Face
- Upper lip
- Chest
- Back
- Bikini line
Your expert waxer can target multiple areas of your body in one visit. The team customizes your treatment to meet your specific needs.
Why does waxing last longer than shaving?
Each strand of hair includes two main components: the shaft and the follicle. The shaft is the part you can see, while the follicle sits beneath the surface of the skin. Your hair grows through the follicle.
When you shave, you remove only the shaft. The maneuver is blunt, so the hair may feel thicker or pricklier when it grows back. That’s why you can feel new hair growth within even 1-2 days of shaving.
Waxing removes the entire shaft and hair follicle. This swift movement allows the hair to exit the skin quickly, minimizing many of the side effects of shaving, such as:
- Ingrown hairs
- Razor burn
- Redness
- Pain
- Itching
Unlike shaving, waxing can’t cut or puncture your skin. It also provides gentle exfoliation by removing dead skin cells.
What can I expect from waxing?
When you arrive for your waxing appointment, your skin care specialist evaluates your skin type and texture. This initial evaluation can help assess your skin’s sensitivity and identify conditions that might compromise its health.
After your pre-waxing consultation, the team decides which type of waxing is best for you: hard or soft. Hard wax is a gentle treatment that works best on sensitive areas, such as the bikini line. Soft wax can spread across larger surfaces and is ideal for the legs, back, chest, and other wide areas.
How long do waxing results last?
While most people have to shave every few days to maintain smooth skin, waxing results can last for 3-4 weeks.* Shaving in between waxing sessions can extend your results.
